and imma tell u why your regurgitated karma theory is stupid. there is obviously a break in consciousness between your socalled 'previous existences' as a human being so how can one learn from a seemingly unprovoked act of hatred/violence? is he/she to assume he/she was an asshole in previous life? is that previous life located previously in history? or can it be located anywhere on a plain of absolute time? If located previously, does it have the same neural structure? or is it a completely different person... how can a man be held accountable for a different persons actions, even if linked by the same unconscious spirit.
your inflated ego finds comfort in solipsism... and im not calling you out individually. man has inflated ego... we got tossed logical reasoning and we'll be forever fucked until what scientists call 'singularity' occurs sometime in 2040. CYBORG EVOLUTION!

Damn...I totally agree with this. I feel it is the same inflated ego that makes people think their individuality survives entirely and remains intact while being transmigrated into another body upon death.
You might as well think the universe revolves around the Earth or that animals were made solely for humans to have dominion over them. You really think your individuality is THAT important in the grand scheme of things? Especially if you believe in the essential "oneness" of everything, then you should realize that our individuality/separateness is really not that important for nature to afford and ensure its intact survival. If anything other than your physical body survives death, it would probably be recycled, reused and dispersed...just like everything else in nature. The population of the Earth has damn-near tripled over the last 50 years. Everybody CAN"T be reincarnations of single whole individuals unless you believe in the concept of an "oversoul" or more than one person sharing the same essential soul/individuality or people being a hodge podge collection of pieces from various dispersed souls/individuals.
The doctrine of Karma is another thing that doesn't make total sense when you look at it. At first, it seems to make sense and to echo the scientific axiom that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction," but Karma applies to things like good/evil which are limited to the human experience, whereas outside of human nature, such dualities do not exist and there is no such thing as good or evil. The doctrine of Karma was originally invented by an invader group (Aryans) to rationalize their subjugation of an indigenous population (Dravidians). Controlling religion and getting the Dravidians to believe in Karma was part of how they maintained power. So if you're Black in America, or a Native American during Colonialism, a Jew in Hitler's Germany or anybody who has ever been disenfranchised in their society at any point in time...you don't have to ask why other people have more than you or why you are suffering because you must have been a thief or done something miserable in your previous life?!?!?!?
If you believe in Karma, you need to realllly re-examine the idea.
